Connect to mongodb using logstash Jdbc_streaming filter plugin

[_Rasitha_Ariyarathna]

I'm trying to fetch data from mongodb using Jdbc_streaming filter plugin in logstash in windows. I'm using mongo-java-driver-3.4.2.jar to connect to the database but, getting a error like this

JavaSql::SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mongo://localhost:27017/EmployeeDB

No any luck with existing references. I'm using logstash 7.8.0 version. This is my logstash config:

jdbc_streaming {
        jdbc_driver_library => "C:/Users/iTelaSoft-User/Downloads/logstash-7.8.0/mongo-java-driver-3.4.2.jar"
        jdbc_driver_class => "com.mongodb.MongoClient"
        jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mongo://localhost:27017/EmployeeDB"
        statement => "select * from Employee"
        target => "name"
    }

How can I fix the above error?

Hi Rasitha,

Make sure that you are using right mongo driver. I have faced the same challenge in 7.7.0 with the mongo-java-driver-3.6.4.jar. But I resolved it by upgrading the JDBC driver. You can download jars from below link.

Hi Chandu,

Thanks for the reply. I did resolve the problem by doing below steps.

1. download https://dbschema.com/jdbc-drivers/MongoDbJdbcDriver.zip
2. unzip and copy all the files to the path(~/logstash-7.8.0/logstash-core/lib/jars/)
3. modify the .config file

Config file:

jdbc_streaming
{
     jdbc_driver_library => "absolute_path_to_file\mongojdbc2.1.jar"
     jdbc_driver_class => "com.dbschema.MongoJdbcDriver"
     jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mongodb://localhost:27017/nmis"
     statement => " db.events.find({ }, {'_id': false})"
     target => "test_details"
}

In the linux environment I had to remove 'jdbc_driver_library =>' property completely from the config and also keep one version of JDBC driver files to get it work.
